Let your slow cooker do (almost) all the work for you…Slow Cooker Miso Beef & Noodles flavored with white miso paste, ginger, garlic & dry sherry. Add some broth & let it slowly cook for hours while you do very little. Towards the end of the beef’s cooking time mushrooms & baby bok choy are added & the noodles cooked. Arrange the noodles in a bowl or add the cooked noodles into the slow cooker & mix them through. I like to style the noodles in bowls then ladle over the buttery beef, the bok choy, mushrooms, green onions & the flavorful broth. Then slurp away. I’ve added substitutions at the end of the recipe so you can easily make this your own & in case you don’t have some of the ingredients or can’t be bothered shopping. Do you remember, you can buy most anything online these days.

Notes
• You can replace the lo mein noodles with spaghetti or any noodle you choose.
• If fresh shiitake mushrooms aren’t available you can sub dried shiitake, just soak them first or use any mushroom you prefer.
• Switch out bok choy for broccoli or snow peas. This was intended to be an easy, meal with simple yet bold flavors. Don’t add more than two different veg, three if you count the green onions.
